The Kingdom of Serbia : Infringe:nerds of the Reim and

Laws of War Committed by the Anstro.Bulgaro.Germans. By R. A. Reiss. (Allen and trnwin. 3s. 6d. net.)—As a few pro-Bulgars are now resuming their campaign, this temperate account by a Swiss of how the Bulgarians behaved in Serbia during the occupation deserves attention. It is a horrible story of murder, massacre, outrages on women, the selling of girls to Turkish harems in Asia, and wholesale looting. The Bulgarians did not exterminate the Serbian people as the Turks exterminated the Armenians, but they went as far in that direction as they dared. Before Bulgaria can raise any claim to consideration she must make such reparation as is possible for her atrocious crimes, though the thousands of murdered civilians and the wounded who were bayoneted on the field cannot be brought to life again.
